"John and Kim were recommended to us so we had them give us a quote which in turn was more than reasonable on painting 2 rooms in the house and they painted those 2 rooms for us. Once we seen the skill and professionalism they put into the job we immediately ask them to another 2 rooms. Now spring is here and we have hired again to paint another 2 large rooms and please keep in mind we have cathedral ceilings in all the rooms they have painted and also in 2 rooms they will paint next week. We highly recommend them for painting like I stated they have the knowledge, skill and professionalism also last but not least they they do a great clean up job when they are done. They are good people and can be trusted!"

I have over 20 years of experience in construction, with my main focus now being interior painting. I also have experience with exterior painting, all types of flooring, drywall, siding, and many other construction projects. I take pride in putting my clients first, paying close attention to detail, and making sure every job is done right. I’m confident in my work and have the experience to handle just about any construction project, with the exception of plumbing, electrical, and HVAC. My goal is always to provide quality work and leave every customer completely satisfied. Thank you for considering me for your next project!

"Assured quality did an amazing job with remodeling my home. The original work in the home was terrible from the paint to the trim. Assured quality made sure I noticed the difference and was so detail oriented! I will be sure to call Juan again if I ever need any further renovations done in my house!"

"We had Chavez Masonry complete a rebuilt of a collapsed chimney in the attic and restored the outside portion. They were responsive, courteous and prompt. Very impressed with their work and their cleanup. I saw this as a difficult project but they completed without a problem. They even held to the quote after it was discovered the the repair was going to more extensive than we originally thought. We would definitely use them again."

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage. 

If it rains after you paint your fence, you may need to apply another coat of paint after the fence thoroughly dries. This will ensure a good seal if the rain weakened any areas of the paint. However, if your paint had enough time to dry thoroughly before it rained, you should have no problem.

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.

The best finish for wrought iron railings is either a semi-gloss or a gloss sheen, as each offers good durability against rain, wind, heat, cold, and snow. 

While power washing isn't a requirement before you stain a fence, it can make the job much easier and faster while reducing manual labor requirements. The stain will not work if the wood is full of dirt and dust, so power washing, sometimes called pressure washing, is a fast and effective way to prepare the wood for staining. Remember that you need to stain or repaint relatively soon after the wood has dried so that there isn’t time for dust and dirt to build up again.
